Lost my magnets! How do I charge my Orb Raw NS now?

[rik]

The topic says it all, really. Somewhere, probably on my desk, but almost certainly stuck to something are the 3 magnets used as spacers to charge the cell from my Orb Raw NS in the charger supplied...

What now? Where can I get more of these? Will anything else do?

I use small coins (pennies) as spacers when charging a CR2 battery in a CR123 charger. Would that work with your setup?

cheers

Get ahold of Orb.com or Lighthound and get new ones.

Radio Shack has small rare earth magnets that might work. Good luck.

Pennies shoudl work, just use tape around the outside or the pennies and stack them tightly. Maybe use some vinegar to clean them first.

Hello Rik,

K&J Magnetics has a good selection to choose from. You will find the nickle plated ones offer a lower resistance connection.

What size do you need? I have a few 2x6mm magnets that I can send you for free. (S-06-02-N from supermagente.de)
